speaker boehner this morning actually distanced himself from this, saying i have never said that, i haven't heard of it but i haven't necessarily seen the documents pertaining to it. all that being said, the nra is going to score this vote and because they are so powerful, you will see these types of members, these blue dog democrats, a lot of these from blue collar districts, swing districts, that will vote to hold eric holder in contempt because of fear of the nra. i've heard numbers from as low as 25 to perhaps maybe even 35. you are going to see a sizeable amount and that only gives more fuel to the gop fire for carrying this all the way on to the end. >> one more point. the heart of this, there were career atf employees who were responsible for this operation, not political appointees, which is why you had some similar tactics during the bush years and during the obama administration. so the notion that it was politically motivated from the ground is certainly not something that investigators i've talked to here on capitol hill would back up. they don't see it that way. >> before we le
